Driving from Augsburg to Munich together with an Audi RS6 ABT (700hp). The total distance of ~50km (~31 miles) was completed in under 15 minutes. That results in a average speed of around 215 km/h (~133 mph). You thought that a litre bike is faster than almost every car?

@FreedomFighter009 I have spent 30 years driving the us highways fro my work as a salesrep. I can say for usre that the owrst offenders about not getting the FUCK out of the left hand lane are blacks. They are just absolutely fucking clueless on how to drive on the highway for some reason...

@TigerMuskie "Qualified" is the wrong word... mabe you mean they respect the rules... ok, the German rules have normally a logic sense... in italy you can find suddenly a road sign with 50kmh in the highway without a logir reason... so in this case the people who respect the rules cause accidents...

@ihobnstoifn nah my man. You'll find similar situations over here as well. Nearby in Essen on the A40 for example: right before some radar traps there are dynamic led speed limitation signs varying from 60 km/h to 120km/h if I remember correctly. And the reason? Only god may know.
See this picture:

You can even see the signs behind the arrows pointing on the traps.

@MyPandemonium Hey mate. I'm trying to say this as polite as possible. Please consider learning the difference between there and their. Even for me as a German this is a really strange error which always confuses me whilst reading. Thank you, Buddy :)

@Gitmo1011
trouble is, u depend on other people's brain working as good as yours.
If someone pulls out behind a truck or a rabbit decides to cross the road in the wrong moment, u might get invited to a parabolic flight and find yourself being beheaded after completion of the landing procedures.
check this one out:

u can see his head laying on the road at 2:01 approximately 50 meters away from the crashsite

@pull4bon3r u are right. But allways and in any situation you have to prepared for the "stupid" actions of others. On a bike, in a car or somewhere else. Even if u cross the street.... its not sure that all cars brake, that they stop at the line. Thats the same when i am on a bike... if i see a car behind a truck. I mostly slow a bit down and get ready for a break. When an animal crosses the street, u have to prepaired for it...

@Gitmo1011 The problem being that at 300km/h (or any speed much above the flow of traffic), even if you see the other idiot before you hit them, you are liable to hit something else or come off the bike as you try to avoid a collision. This is not the government telling you to slow down or they'll fine you, this is thousands of dead bikers per year who thought they were able to ride safely at excessive speed.

i am german and i would like a general speedlimit on the autobahn at 200 kph. racing is cool, but not near my grandmother's car. we have dedicated racing tracks. yes, i have gone over 200 and yes i enjoyed it. now i am a little older and feel that the benefit doesn't outwheigh the risk here.

@Megadeth ... All it takes is one drunk or blonde on a phone or stoner or dumbass who doesn't see you way back there to pull into the left lane in front of you and whether you're in a car or on a bike you'll probably die if you're going 200 mph and they're going less than half that speed....

@numark And here you hit the nail on the head. Speed is indeed a problem *if* you crash, but it's not speed itself that causes the crash. Apart from unpredictable/unavoidable accidents, it's usually bad driving, from you or someone else on the road with you. These guys don't tailgate, they always signal their intentions and only drive on the left lane when passing another vehicle.

For me it´s very surprising that a video like this has such a big impact on lifelife with more than 1000 comments. Ok, it´s a fast run but quite normal in germany to travel at these speeds. I mean speeds 200-250 kph.
Since most cars on the autobahn in germany are strong diesel powered audi/mercedes/bmw/vw´s the average speeds are very high. When you drive slower than 220 kph you cannot stay in the left lane for longer than 1-2 minutes because somebody wants to overtake you. just normal. GreetMore..z from germanyLess..

@Stevo19835 Well, here in the U.S. we have some states with highway speed limits of 100 kph (60mph), and most are only 112 kph or so (70-75mph). Also, even though the U.S. is one of the richest countries in the world, a lot of people drive fairly crappy vehicles that can't be trusted at higher speeds.

@McPube Does the US not have a regular road-worthiness test?? We have it here in ireland (every 2 years, or 1 year for older cars)and i think most of europe has one. It gets rid of most the shitbox cars on the road. We have speed limits here though..

@GIXXARDR
you should. Consider a Sunday morning when no trucks are around. And if you really have some time take a "autobahn" in the eastern part of Germany. They are relative new and usually not that crowded.

@GIXXARDR
Oh don't worry you need not go up to Germany...we have speed limits in Italy but besides a few highways with the Tutor system (gates every 10km that "read" your numberplate...in theory you could speed for 9 km and then go very slow for 1 but it's stupid) nobody cares or enforces the limits ;-)
In particular there is the Cisa, a highway going from Parma to LaSpezia,it's all 3 lanes, it has around 100km of nice curves and tunnels and a final 17 km of straight downhill where eMore..verybody checks their top speed. And I mean everybody including Ferrari, Lamborghini and other garage-prepared supercars. I once did it averaging around 200-210 km/h and I had to stay stuck in the far right lane because I was passed by missiles of all sorts :-DDDLess..

@LoveShock
Sounds awesome, i'll actually be going to LaSpezia as we are staying 3 nights in the Cinque Terre, unfortunately we plan to travel by train but maybe I should hire a sports car for the day :-D
